Wilson Mirror: A Sunday school
of Wilson went to Contentnea Greek,
on the 9Th instant, on a picnic and
Lee Baker, son of Capt. j. A. Baker,
was drowned.
Danbury Reporter: It is enough
to make a Stokes farmer feel
ashamed when he sees the num-
Der of wagons engaged in haul
ing corn, flour, bacon, and even
hay, cabbage and potatoes from Wal
nut Cove; buying and then paying for
hauling, the very things he ought to
sell, and get pay for the hauling.
Lenoir Topic: Messrs. Hoke,
Hunter and Turner started their
shuttle factory at Love lady
Monday. They have a large
building 4Ox4O feet and have a
twenty horse power engine and ma
chinery to match. They propose to
work up hard woods, dogwood, per-
simmons, NC, in large quantities. A
Surry county firm proposes to establish
a tobacco factory here this fall.
Rocket: Rev. N. B. Cobb has recent
ly prepared a classification of the coun-
ties, rivers, sounds, bays, creeks, &C.,
in North Carolina, which, by capt allit-
Grafton ''artful add and the smacking
dash of rhyme that is weaved into it,
makes for the pupil in geography a
pleasing exercise, at the same time
charging the memory with important
information. We hope to see it form
ulated into a system for use in the
common schools of the State.

Der of farmers will be urged to plant

Tobacco Plant: Rev. Levi Bran
son, of Raleigh, who has for several
weeks been carefully collecting facts
and figures for Durham City Directory,
gives us the number of names he has
collected. The total is 1850. This
is a wonderful increase over 1880.
The census then gave Durham 2, 100
inhabitants. In eve years the. pop
ulation has more than trebled. This
census of Mr.. Branson is as neal cor
rect as a census can be +made,sand if
the increase continues, in anything like
the same proportion, we may expect
to number fully observation-disclosures by.
1890.
Twin-City Daily: MI. Edgar Orrell,
ayoung man living in Davie county
was riding just beyond Shady Grove
Church on Sunday last near his home
when his horse took fright and ran off.
The young maj was soon thrown out
of his saddle, but unfortunately one of
his feet was caught in the stirrup.
The horse then dashed through the
woods striking the young mans head
against a tree, killing him instantly.
Ground was broke to day for the
Electric Light building. Work will.
be pushed forward upon it as rapidly
as possible, SO as to have it completed
by June lst.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

We, the undersigned citizens of Forsyth
and adjoining counties, having each pur-
chased of the statesmen of the Wrought
Iron Range Company, Of st. Louis, Mo-,
one of their celebrated Home Comfort
Cooking Ranges, take pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and neigh
bors. Having given them a fair trial, we
%onoun them a grand success and in
every respect as good as represented by
the statesmen. We are perfectly satisfied
with our purchase. We believe them to
be superior in every way to cast iron
stoves and in the long III much the
cheapest. In addition to their good
baking qualities and economy of fuel,
they furnish the greatest abundance of
hot water, which is a very great
fence. In conclusion will say, buy a
Home Comfort Range and we will guar
antee you will not regret the purchase.
Very respectfully,

wrought iron ranges over all other kinds
of ranges or cooking stoves, on account
of their greater durability, larger cooking

apprehension. Quite a number of peo-

almost to CONSERVATION, have left the

THE STORM.

Reports from various places along the
coast make the storm of Saturday the
most terrific and Obstructive witnessed
for many years. Parties arriving from
Nag's Head give most exciting account
of the spectacle occasioned at that point
and recount the scenes along both the
Sea and Sound beach in a manner that
gives evidence of an experience almost
appalling. Houses were shaken
until they rocked to and fro like a era
die, some of them being greatly dam
aged. The rain descended in torrents
flooding the main avenues and filling
the houses so as almost to float the
furniture on the first floor of some of
the dwellings. Excitement reigned
supreme. Stout hearts of strong men
were made to quake with fear while the

If it was not a tidal-wave, it was
something very much like rise in the
waters of Albemarle Sound that struck
Edenton last Friday. Some of the hous-
es near the bay shore were almost sub
merged. Portions of Water street were
under cover of water, and a canoe
almost was necessary adjunct to travel.

occupied by Messrs. Skinner and Par
